killing floor loading problem

[gamer4ever]

So, i recently bought killing floor and all works perfect until i finish a game (full round)

After that it's supposed to load the next map but it just stays on the loading screen forever

I've seen this problem on this forum alot, tried the fixes, but they don't work for me, tough with disabling pre caching the maps that load, load much faster

It would be alot appreciated if u guys could help me

Thank you

So you did try the delete system folder and then verify game cache thing?

yes i tried that

Can you state exactly what things you tried perhaps, as it makes possible troubleshooting easier. As one could have easily missed one thing and then with the devils luck that fix could have worked for him.

So yeah, i tried to adjust the cachesize (in the .ini file),
Turned off precaching, (did decrease loading times)
Thats about it i think.

Also, it seems to happen after the patriarch appears. When we don't make it till him, it loads just fine...

When he appears and either we lose or win, it will freeze, i opened task manager and it said it is still responding, so i end up closing it trough task manager if i'm very lucky, or i have to restart my computer

If u know any other fixes please let me know

so what exact screen does it hang on. Waiting to connect, loading map blabla, or does it show the loading picture with the mappicture and specimen?

Can you try turning off superfetch: http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=37887

and perhaps some of the things xienen said in here: http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=38573

sorry for the 3 same posts...,
i'm new to this forum

Your first few posts need to be accepted by a moderator (or by me in the support section) this is an anti troll method. Thats why your posts don't immediately display itself. I think its only for the first 5 posts or so.

Also, i don't find anything in the thread about superfetch, is it the same as precache?

 

[Zetsumei]

i meant fix 3 /option 3 in that post down the bottom

 

[gamer4ever]

oh, also i'm running windows xp, i don't have vista or windows 7

 

[Zetsumei]

ah yeah then **** that

 

[gamer4ever]

Yeah, i checked, i tried all the fixes...

 

[Zetsumei]

Does the issue happen as well when you play a solo game, or only when you play online. Can you check it out?

 

[gamer4ever]

yes, i tried that before, still, the same thing

Also, when i disconnect from server, then type in console reconnect, it loads perfectly...

 

[Zetsumei]

what happens if you type flush in the console just before a map switch?

 

[gamer4ever]

hmm, i didn't try that yet

I'm gonna try that right now

oh, btw, what does it do?

 

[gamer4ever]

yes, this seems to work!!!!!

Is there any way my game will do this automatically after a map change or do i have to put it in the console every time the map is about to change?

cool i'll try this cos get exactly this problem too (running XP as well) -
starting from the server browser, the 1st map loads in a reasonable time, but after the round when the next map loads it takes forever-
sometimes it works in 3 mins or so, but often a lot longer or it dumps me out to the main menu screen.
It is frozen when you get the picture up with one of the creatures and some descriptive text.

I have a reasonable bit of HD space on my steam drive and a decent amount of ram.
Will i have to type flush at the end of every round or is there a permanent fix?
